Itwill be held at the Jose Rizal Plaza, across the Calamba City Hall in Calamba, Laguna on April 29-30, 2017. Everyone’s invited to come and participate.

“Calamba City is the official venue of the Pilipinas FJ Summit™. We are inviting all FJ Cruiser owners and enthusiasts to be part of this momentous event. This event kicks off the Buhayani Festival, an annual festival in Calamba City to commemorate our National Hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, and to celebrate Calamba City’s history and heroes, both historic and contemporary,” shares Calamba City Mayor Timmy Chipeco.

The Pilipinas FJ Summit™ 2017 will most definitely be an event for the whole family. It is open to the public and will have something for everyone, even for non-FJ Cruiser owners.

Conquer the Pilipinas FJ Summit™ Off-Road Challenge. This exciting off-road course will test the prowess of the FJ Cruiser and its driver. It is designed by Dennis Javier of Jungle Base Firing Range and 4X4 Center, popular to the 4×4 community for his trails in Tanay, Rizal. He will hold clinics on safe and responsible off-roading. He will also be on hand to give tips and pointers to challengers. The Off-Road Challenge will also be open to other 4×4 vehicles.

Summit Delegates can feast up close on over a hundred FJ Cruisers that will be displayed on the Summit Day. “The main attraction of the Summit will be the convergence of as many FJ Cruisers that can be accommodated in the 4-hectare Summit grounds. If the FJ Cruiser is a reflection of the personality or lifestyle of its owner, be prepared to encounter as many permutations of the FJ Cruiser as there will be Summit Delegates,” shares Philippine FJ Cruisers Club President Atty. Numeriano Rodriguez, Jr.

Summit Delegates will have the opportunity to meet and befriend fellow FJ Cruiser owners and enthusiasts from all over the country. It will be a whole day of fun and fellowship that will culminate with a Pilipinas FJ Summit™ party in the evening. Delegates can exchange and share notes with new FJ friends; ask questions, technical or otherwise, about their FJ Cruiser, their upgrades and modifications, their experiences and about certain brands or parts, plus their off-road adventures.

Delegates can also avail of big Summit discounts from the major suppliers and distributors of the best after-market parts and accessories for your FJ Cruiser. They will be there to make every Delegate’s dreams come true and with big discounts.

Part of the proceeds from the Pilipinas FJ Summit™ will be donated to the various socio-civic projects of the Philippine FJ Cruisers Club.

About the Toyota FJ Cruiser: The vehicle is a retro style, mid-size SUV with styling and off road performance reminiscent of the original Toyota Land Cruiser (FJ40). The “FJ” in the Toyota FJ Cruiser’s name refers to the chassis specification code of the Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser. The classic Land Cruiser was produced worldwide from 1960 until 1984. And like the old FJ40, the Toyota FJ Cruiser has superior off-road capabilities.

The production of the FJ Cruiser has been discontinued in 2014 and only a handful is available in showrooms. If you want one, now is the time to get it. However, excitement and capability live on with adventure-ready Toyota vehicles. In the Philippines, the excitement over these vehicles is very much alive with the upcoming Pilipinas FJ Summit™.

There’s something about offroad vehicles that brings out the adventurer in us. We’d like to traverse the roads less taken, go deep into the safaris, cross rivers and deserts. We can go literally almost everywhere with those monsters. When we ride one, nothing can hold us back! And whenever we think of 4x4s, flashbacks of our daddy’s or grandpa’s Toyota Landcruiser FJ40 comes into mind, crossing those bumpy pothole filled roads and flooded streets. It was the king of the highway. FJ40s are so tough you can still see some on the road. Big wheels, indestructible body, strong engines, rugged styling, and oozing with machismo. So much for the introduction. Lo and behold the revival of Toyota’s FJ40, the one and only FJ Cruiser.
